Joy To The World

I've just changed the settings on this blog so anyone can post stupid (or not) comments without having to be registerizederized first. Now you have no excuse... apart from the fact that a) you're not reading this blog, and b) you have nothing to say!
Or?

Genius.

Having spent half my life living in London, I'd become totally accustomed to the fact that stuff costs way more than it should and when it arrives (stuff) it's usually a bit disappointing. Money moves very fast... in the opposite direction. That's how it is.
Stuff is cheap in Berlin! I've said it before and I'll probably keep saying it until all my friends move here to be with me and bathe in the glow of genius bargains each and every day.
Not only is it cheap but it's GOOD.
As proof, here's a photo of this morning's breakfast, cost about three quid.
How do they do it?????

Oh, and breakfast was at Cafe Marx, near Görlitzer Bahnhof.
(Wasn't very Marxist though... unless "Seal's Greatest Hits" contains subliminal communist messages - it was playing rather audibly).

Bike! You like?

I've bought a bicycle.
It's shiny and blue and a good deal too: 200 Euros from a shop on Lychener Strasse, not bad for a bike like this. It's a Dutch Sparta and feels like it's made of IRON, and the price includes a year's guarantee. Even better, it has two handbrakes, rather than the annoying "rucktritt" (back-pedal brake) so I don't fall off every time I re-adjust my footing. Now I only fall off when I drink too much.

I slice down the streets like a hot knife through German butter!
Sparta, I love you.

Water... from the SKY!

For weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks now, it's been hot and sunny or even very hot and sunny almost every day. Almost like summer! Yesterday night it rained though and luckily I was there on Shönhauser Allee with my camera so you won't think I'm lying.
I can truthfully say I miss the rain.
But I won't.
